[Elecraft] Potential Elecraft Kit

[Larry Phipps]

There are a couple sources for boards for the W7ZOI spectrum analyzer 
project that ran in QST some years back. Also, for about $500-700 on 
eBay you can get a used HP or Tek SA that will blow the doors off an 
inexpensive kit version. If you do a lot of RF design work, it's a must. 
The two most useful pieces of rf test gear I have ever bought are an 
HP-8640B signal generator and Tektronix 7L14 spectrum analyzer... 
together they were less than a decently outfitted K2.

Nice to have sound card analyzers with software and all, but a real rf analyzer in a small, functional package would be sooooo great.  With some careful trade off decisions it might even be affordable!  The display is a big headache if you don't have a good Oscope handy but a creative designer [or two] might be able to do the job.  I suppose it would not have the broad appeal of a K1, 2 or even a very compact antenna tuner, but it might appeal to a few hundred hams and others who do bench work.
